D’var Torah : Rabbi Yosef Weinstock

Parshat Chayei Sara has been designated as Shabbat Chevron because the Parsha describes Avraham’s purchase of the Machpela Cave and surrounding land as a burial location for Sara. Last year 40,000 Jews celebrated Shabbat Chayei Sara in Chevron, in a strong demonstration of the Jewish connection to this city. The Ramban cites Bereishit Rabbah (55:10), which claims that the origin of the name Machpelah (double) may stem from the fact that the Hashem is said to have folded the very Thank you to the sponsors of the Kehillah tall corpse of Adam in half, in order for it to fit into the cave. Even though the cave was always known as Machpelah, the local Hittite people were unaware of the name’s Kiddush this Shabbat significance, or that there were graves in the cave. That may also be the reason why in our -Joshua & Deborah Galitzer to Parsha, the local people refer to the entire area as Machpelah, whereas Avraham refers only to commemorate the yahrzeit of his mother the cave as Machpelah. Rose Galitzer and her father Meyer Marlowe The Midrash teaches that Avraham and Sara had longed to be buried in the final resting place of Adam and Eve. However, no one knew the exact location of that burial place. On the -Jerry & Sharon Ness In memory of his day that Abraham was informed by the angel that Sara would give birth to Yitzchak, Scripture father Charlie Ness and her mother Berdie states (Genesis 18:7) that Avraham went out to his herd to select animals in order to prepare a Lillian Kaufman feast for his guests. According to the Midrash, one of the calves ran away into a cave. When Avraham followed the calf, he found Adam and Eve resting on their couches, and a spiritual -Sammy & Lisa Rhein and family in honor of light of incredible brilliance burning above them. The entire scene was enveloped in incense- Jonathan’s Bar Mitzvah like fragrance. This place was the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the Hittite Chevron was Avraham and Sara’s first permanent home in the land of Canaan. They lived -Howard & Ellen Rotterdam in memory of there for some 25 years, relocating to Beer Sheba only after the destruction of Sodom and the her father Elchanan ben Shifra Rochel incestuous behavior of Lot and his daughters. In Beer Sheba, Avraham proclaimed monotheism, and the Torah states (Genesis 21:33) that he maintained an Eishel in Beer -Harold & Nancy Zombek in memory of Sheba, which is interpreted by the Midrash to mean a food pantry, or an inn for wayfarers. Nancy’s parents Marga (z”l) and Siegfried Even when living elsewhere, Avraham apparently visited Beer Sheba frequently. We now (z”l) Kellerman find that Avraham and Sara have moved back to Chevron, and they have been living there for approximately twelve years. -Ronen & Rachel Zour in honor of our dear As residents of Beer Sheba, Avraham and Sara were concerned that the Hittites would not friends allow them to purchase the burial plot in Chevron; so when Sara was 115 years old, they moved back to Chevron, in order to establish permanent residency there, enabling them to Thank you to Ilana Melnitsky and the purchase the plot. Simcha Gemach for arranging the beautiful The name Chevron comes from the Hebrew root of Chibur. As we learn from the décor previously cited Midrash, Chevron is a location that connects Heaven and Earth. This is one of the hallmark tasks of a Jew: to contribute to the world while acknowledging and publicizing the existence of a spiritual realm. Chevron is also a location that fosters a connection between us and the land of Israel, as well as the connection between us and our heritage / our ancestors (as the Patriarchs and Matriarchs, besides Rachel, are all buried there). On this Shabbat Chayei Sara/ Shabbat Chevron, let us consider our connection to the Land of Israel and to our Jewish heritage: In what ways are they meaningful? How can we gain more from these connections? How do we transmit the importance of these connections to our children? How can we strengthen these connections in the future?
